International student or not?
I'm busy studying a B.Sci in South Africa, and will be immigrating to the UK at the end of this year on an ancestral visa. International students pay a ridiculous amount of money, I was wondering whether I'd actually be considered an international student? honestly don't need bitchy answers

how much spending money will i need for world cup?
how much spending money will i need for world cup?
I am planning on going to south africa for the 2010 world cup. how much money do you think i will need for food and travel around the country and other incidentals? (i am looking for just spending money, not game tickets or accomodation) Are there other costs i should consider? I am also a college student so i will probably travel the cheapest ways and eat on a budget. and how much would it cost to travel between the different cities? eg btw jo-burg and cape town? what is the best form of transportation to go from city to city?

You should do some research before giving up your life so easily.The World Cup is going to be a major success for South Africa's criminals who are just waiting for you.Have a read of these sites: http://iluvsa.blogspot.com/ http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/

please excuse the pessimist above!!!!! Your major expenses will be food and transport. You looking at about R20-R40 for a local minibus taxi for a trip to the stadiums and around the major centers. R40-R100 for a private taxi unlikely to get a decent take away meal here for under R40 (burger, chips and coke 340ml). if you really tight and prepare meal at you accommodation, like sandwiches and the like you can get by on about R20/day assuming you can refrigerate stuff like cold meats, cheese and other stuff you'd put on rolls/bread. I'm not sure if all prices are gonna be pushed up during the World cup or not...wouldn't be surprised though... oh try to avoid buying anything at the stadiums thats super ripoff!! but then again not sure if they'll let you take anything in! check out https://www.mrdelivery.com/mrdelivery.php for various fast food and restaurant prices. the most common fast places here are steers, nandos, KFC, wimpy, debonnairs macdonalds(gross!!!!) best way to save get friendly with a local to show you the ropes! good luck

Just to add to Rafael above - try not to use the local taxi's - they are death traps! They are planning on having buses running between certain designated areas to take people to the stadiums to prevent traffic buildup. Also, different areas of the cities have big variances in prices for certain things so you may run into some trouble. You should be able to get by on +- R150/day excluding accommodation. Trips between cities can get pretty expensive no matter which way you travel - petrol prices are insane. Also, just a tip, dont carry cash with you, try a debit card. Dont carry laptops, cameras, phones etc out in the open where anyone can see them. That way you should enjoy your trip.

Rather over estimate the amont of money you will require, almost everything in South Africa will be more expensive than normal during the World Cup, South Africans are famous for over charging tourists.

How to find employment at 2010 World Cup?
How to find employment at 2010 World Cup?
I am a college student dreaming of spending 2010 summer working at the World Cup in South Africa. Unfortunately, Fifa is not offering internships at this time. Any suggestions?

you just have to keep following FIFA's official website, in a few months they should have some kind of volunteer work available for whoever wishes to join.
2 :
They will need a lot of police to keep the problems at bay. Police and security will be needed at Water Closet 2010....though I doubt many people will travel there due to the problems.

What are some good overseas free volunteer programs?
What are some good overseas free volunteer programs?
I would like to do some volunteer work overseas. I would like to go for about two months, I don't have much money so nothing like Cross-Cultural solutions where you have to pay more than a thousand dollars to volunteer. I am currently a student, and wish to go to possibly Africa, South America, or Asia (in that order). Thanks for all the help.

www.i-to-i.com (i think). they have plently of opportunities. or you could google it :) see if your local council has any information as they often get government info saying where volunteers can go. or research gap year placements. i think you are likely to have to pay something, as it is rarely free for these things, but you could get sponsored? I have a friend who went to Tanzania to build a school and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. They were sponsored by everyone they knew and through the internet and fundraising. They eventually got the money to do it, and made a real difference, so you could try something like that?

You can try this site. It has some good programmes offered. http://www.workingabroad.com/page/3/volunteer-organisations.htm

You can check out your church's youth group and ask them. They have summer retreat missions where they do stuff like that, and it's pretty fun and memorable.
2 :
You can check out the following sites... I am sure that one will fit your offer of service. Look under ways to help. You may need a parent or guardian to go with you tho as most offers of service out of country require you to be 18. Church groups are different so check out your local churches. Scouts has lots of volunteer opportunities too... some are out of country as well.. These may be more in keeping with what you want to accomplish and there would be youth your age on your journey. Best of luck to you! W

1 :
if you put express mail it would get to you within 3-5 days
2 :
well depends if its in states, you cam get the shipping that it would be shipped in 2-4 business days.. but you might need to pay a lil more than original shipping.. if paying for normal shipping, might be about 10 days or less!
3 :
The answer varies by seller. It is usually disclosed. If not, you should ask. There are many ways to ship items, and the delivery times vary widely. Usually, you can, for an additional sum, request expedited delivery.
4 :
It all depends on the company's particular mode of delivery, and how far away you are from the facility. Many companies will offer expedited service for an extra fee, which will assure your product is shipped promptly, but it's always best to research the shipping policies on their websites. They will give you a good guideline. As for Ebay, every seller is different in shipping times, and they SHOULD include info on how soon they ship, but sometimes don't. A lot of Ebay sellers are home based, and if they have an issue getting o the Post office on any given day, that can delay a shipment. If your Ebay seller does not explicitly state which days of the week they ship on, or what methods they ship by, you always have the right to ask, but do it BEFORE YOU BID, because a bid is a binding contract of purchase. I have sold on Ebay, and have been asked to expedite service to priority 2 day or some other, and was more than happy to agree. Bottom line, read the fine print, and ask questions on shipping times if need be. 3 weeks seems like a pretty large window for shipment/arrival to me, and unless the product is back-ordered, should not be a problem....but ask first!!
